Here’s A Story For You

I can't imagine how your fish can survive. That's amazing!
I'm going to buy a fishbowl to put it in my kitchen. What size of bowl is the best for a goldfish? Does anyone have any idea about this?

Goldfish can grow up to 12", so not any "bowl"........
4' long and 30g plus another 12g for each additional fish.

I've bought a Koller 1 gallon but it seems quite small for a goldfish.

Thanks but I just need a small one to put in my kitchen. 30g is too big I think

A 1 gallon tank is not suitable for any fish. All fish need a bigger tank - you might get away with a betta in a 2.5 gallon tank but I would prefer to see them in a 5 gallon tank. But certainly not a goldfish even in 5 gallons.


All I can think of is a miniature planted tank in a 1 gallon bowl. I wouldn't even keep shrimp in it as it is too small.

A 10g would reasonably be the smallest tank, and you wouldn't get goldfish, some other type of fish yes.

A Betta would be a more suitable fish than a Goldfish.
